Positioning genesis characters with direct manipulation in poser.

I was used to using direct manipulation in poser to position m3/v4 characters. With genesis, I only bend and twist the hip. While that is good for one way of posing characters, it is hard to move them around properly in the xyz axis. Is there an easier way to move these characters using direct manipulation?

Actually, it's more about the rotation of XYZ that I would like help with using direct manipulation. Thanks
